JIow Noithcrn Men are Itrccived South
The Associated Press.
Wb almost despair of anj genuine reconstruc
tion in the Southern States. If a few weeks
are allowed to go by without some direct
Insult to the flag or some gross assault upon
loyalists, we begin to believe that the day
of repentance and reason has arrived. But
no sooner does such a belief seem warranted
by the facts, than some fresh outrage occurs
which shows that the spirit of rebellion is not
dead, but sleepeth, and that it needs but an
opportunity to once more appear in full force.
The dastardly attack on Judge Kelley which
was perpetrated last evening at Mobile, is
another evidence of the spirit of the Southern
people. Hy a preconcerted plot the right of
free speech was denied to our follow-townsman,
and the meeting broken up by violence.
Several deaths were occasioned by promiscuous
firing upon the crowd, and, for a time, the
riot was a success. The arrival of the United
States forces quelled the Rebels, and the city
was taken possession of by the military. When
it is remembered that the various Northern
orators who have gone South have done so at
the request of thta Southern papers and South
ern speakers, who professed to desire a free
debate, this infamous invasion of the rights of
our citizens will appear yet more heinous. As
long as such a course of action is pursued, and
the people of the South tolerate such ruffians
in their midst, we would have them kept
under the heel of iron, until all such spirit of
riot and treason be crushed out.
It is bad enough to have to allow our public
meu to be shot at by a Southern mob, but to
have the Associated Press turned into an
organ for defending the would-be murderers,
is a little more than human patience can
peacefully submit to. The Associated Press
is a Northern institution, supported by
Northern capital, invented for Northern use,
and all its employes are fed by the gold which
comes out of Northern pockets. Under such
circumstances, it is not unreasonable for us to
expect that the truth should be told, and that
the Association shall not be prostituted into
an engine for vilifying Northern men and
defending Southern assassins. Yet such has
been the constant action of the Associated
Press ever since the Northern speakers went
South. When Judge Kelley spoke at Mem
phis, we were told that he had a "slim" audi
ence, and that the whole affair was a decided
failure. Such was the information conveyed
by the despatch from the Memphis agent. By
the Memphis Post, a reliable paper published
on the spot, a different tale is told. It says:
"The Ureenluw Opera bouse, the best audi
ence room lu the city, was filled with ladies and
gentlemen, without djttiuclion of color or
nativity, tlolnn each onSer uo Uurm on account
of any dillerences, but peacefully, intelligently
united in giving their altentlou to that radical
of radicnls, the llou. W. D. Kelley, of Philadel
phia. We are huppy to point to the whole scene,
the ability and candor of the orator, tlie numbers,
the order, the intelligence, the attention and repre
sentative character of the audience, and the
vigilant euardiaushlD of a faithful colice. in
sy mpathy with the law of freedom and devoted
to the preservation of order, as the felicitous
opening of the radical campaign la this wide-
sweeping Mississippi valley."
This account is different from the "failure"
despatch of the Associated Press. Again, in the
account of the riot at Mobile last night, the
Associated Press says:
" He continued in mis strain for some
minutes, using language and expressions incen
diary, and winch were calcululeu to lead lo und
luvue riotous demonstrations. He was here
Interrupted by a while muu on the outskirts of
the crowd, whom the police promptly arrested.
The first shot was tired at this poiat it is impos
sible to sav by whom.
"Instantly show followed from the negroes,

Curing the progress of the riol. which lasted
about an hour. A large majority of the shots
were fired by the neoroes, as but very few of the
whites present were armed, having attended the
meeting to listen quietly to Kelley. and wltnout
ine remotest iuea 01 provoking a riot."
This account is so utterly different from that
given by all the special correspondents, and
bears such evident marks of falsity on its face.
that it is a disgrace that the Associated Press
should tolerate such a malicious and wilful
falsehood to come with the jirestiyt of its name.
It is time that such nefarious falsehoods should
"be stopped, and it behooves the chief of the
Association to see that all unreliable and Rebel
employes be placed beyond the reach of in
sulting the loyal editors and deceiving the
loyal readers by their wanton prevarication of
the truth.
The Importance of the Nomination lor
the Vice-Presidency.
Thb press of the country is beginning to dis
cuss somewhat the merits of proposed Presi
dential nominees. We do not care to engage
in that discussion at the present time, but we
would suggest thus early to both parties the
importance of looking well to the second name
on the ticket that of the nominee lor Vice-
1 resident. So much more importance and
tntAl-AKt ftrA lianolln .11. . . ...

generally upon minor considerations. It is
thought that almost any clever politician will

- t r ti : .1 . ... i. 1 1
ior v ice-i jeoiuoui wu woum never have been
thought of for President. The people of this
country have certainly now had experience
enough to show them that, in nominating a
Vice-President, they should do ao with the
clear understanding that they are nominating
man who, in no necessarily remote or rare
contingency, may be President. The duties of
a Vioe-rresidont, as such, hardly amount to
anything, lie has simply to preside in
the Senate, with no rote exoept in the
case of an equal division of the
body. The oflioe derives its entire importance
from its contingencies. It is as the possible
successor of the President that the Vioe-Prosi-dent
possesses interest, and it is in view of
'this contingency that the nomination should be
made. Ilenoe we say that the nominee for
that office should be a man whom his party
would willingly give the first place on the
ticket. We want as good a man for Vice
President as we do for President. Above all,
he should be a man concerning whose political
fidelity there is no doubt. Our political system
obliges all parties to repose confidence in the
men they nominate. We hold that the breach
of this confidence is about the highest political
crime that a man can commit. What, for
instance, would be thought of a presidential
Elector, elected by a cortain party, as all our
Electors are, for the express purpose of voting
for the distinctly specified nominees of the
party, who should betray his trust, and vote
for the opposing candidates? Would not
every honest man despise and execrate him f
Would any shallow, hypocritical pleas of
"rising above party," "the good of the coun
try," and all that, avail him anything f But
wherein would such treachery as this bo loss
glaring or less odious than that which was
exhibited by Andrew Johnson in deserting and
betraying the Republican party, by joining
the Democrats ?
Now we hold that it is Hot for the interest
of any party that the treachery of nominees
should be encouraged. Political fidelity is a
high virtue. A man who accepts a nomina
tion from a party accepts a fiduciary position,
which he cannot betray without dishonor. But
as experience has taught us that men some
times get into positions who are insensible to
these considerations, it behooves us to look
with more than usual care to our nominees.
And hence, we repeat that the candidate for
the Vice-Presidency should be a man concern
ing whose political fidelity there can be no
question.
The nomination for the Vice-Presidency is
often determined by locality. Alter a Presi
dent has been nominated, there is thought to
be a necessity of consulting local considera
tions in the bestowment of the second place.
Mr. Johnson owed his nomination in lSb'4, in
goad part, to his living in a Southern State.
We suppose, very probably, that it will be
thought by many that the candidate for the
Vice-Presidency in 18(58 should come from the
same section. In reply to this, we have to ask
w hether, so far as the Republican party is
concerned, there is any man living in that
section of the country whom we would be
willing to nominate for President f If there is
not, there is no man there that we ought to
have for Vice-President.
It might not be a bad precedent to establish
to nominate for Vice-President the candi
date who stood next to the highest in the
contest for President. This would always
give us some man who had been thought of,
at least, in connection with the Presidency,
and would also tend to consolidate party
strength by consulting the leading elements
of the party.
Wre throw out these suggestions at an early
day, to direct public attention to this topic.
The nomination for the Vice-Presidency has
assumed new importance in the face of our
recent experience. The blunder committed in
18G4 should never be repeated.
'Give Place, My Lord!"
Theke are some office-holders who seem to be
insatiable .cormorants, whose appetite for
place seems only to be whetted by its gratifi
cation. Position resembles avarice in that its
longings can never be sufficiently supplied.
To guard against this spirit of getting every
thing possible and never resting content with
possession, an act of Assembly was passed
which forbids any member ot Councils, during
the term for which he was elected, holding any
office of a municipal character. The object of
this act was evidently two-fold: To prevent
the scandal of members electing themselves to
positions, and to secure for their constituents
a representation, by preventing the man
selected from surrendering his trust as soon
as he could get a more lucrative office.
In both these ends the act was eminently
commendable, but it was circumvented, and
its object utterly defeated, on Monday last.
We will recall the facts of the case. General C.
H. T. C'ollis, Assistant City Solicitor, resigned
that position, and Thomas J. Worrell, Esq.,
on the recommendation of all the judges,
was appointed to the position. Wheu his
name came up before Select Council for con
firmation, he was rejected. This action was
not taken because of any objection to Mr.
Worrell, for none was urged; but was the re
sult of a petty plot to give the place to Frede
rick A. Van Cleve. We do not wonder at the
desire ol the Chamber to rid itself of that
gentleman's loquacity, but then the means
will not always justify the ends.
As soon as Mr. Worrell was rejected, Mr.
Van Cleve resigned his seat from the Four
teenth Ward, lie is now endeavoring, by this
preconcerted arrangement, to have his name
sent in and be confirmed. His resignation was
accepted, so we are rid of his presence in the
Chamber, but their duty in the case is very
clear. His name ought not to be sent in; and,
if it is, it ought to be rejected. Mr. Van
Cleve's conduct admits of no palliation or ex
cuse. The more we look at it, the more it
grows in offense. By his action the Four
teenth Ward is left without a representative
until next January. After the people have
honored him with the seat, to basely sell them
out, in order that a small pecuniary profit
might result to himself, la infamous.
Yet this Mr. Van. Cleve has done. Again,
by his' resignation the two-thirds vote in Select
Council necessary to pass any bill, immediate
action upon which is necessary, is lost to the
party, and the Republicans placed at the
mercy of the Democratic minority. It requires
a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules, and
this is lost to us by Mr. Van Cleve's action;
and when he has thus insulted his con
stituents and injured the party, it is the height
of impudence for him to quietly come and ask
a more lucrative office as the reward for his
breach of duty. We earnestly hope that his
immediate rejection will teach those who keep
up a constant cry for "Place, place, my lords!"
that they must rest satisfied with what is
legally and rightfully theirs, or get nothing.
Should Mr. Van Cleve be rejected, he will sink
once more into his primitive obscurity, from
which he was raised by an accident, kept out
of by a mistake, and now returns lo it by the
natural laws of mental gravity. The city witf
thus be relieved, and another instance afforded
of that "Ambition which o'erleaps itself, and
falls on the other side." Once in private life,
we trust he will remain there.
PHARISEES IIOWUS'G.
The release of Mr. Davis a (lords to someof our
contemporaries a pretext for malignant vitu
peration. The editor of this Journal is howlW'
at wltn a vinuictlvenesM which is comforting so
lur as il shows that the tongues oi certain of our
li lends have not cleaved lo the roots of their
n urn Hi. Let that pas as the Idle wind which
we iieeU not. One or two observations, how
ever, may bo ventured iu reference to a mutter
wi leu seems lo excite more than oruiuary
lnlereht.
Ji lleiHon Davis was tnken prisoner two years
(luce, liewus arrested us uu assHBHln aud for
ills urit'Hl tbe Government paid the sum of
one hundred thousand dollars. The President
clionn d to ki ow, iu oll'uriug this reward, that
Mr. I'uvis was me accomplice oi vv lines
lli olh. He was thrown into a duugeon,and
manacled, and held in harassing durance.
As au assassin, especially as the asRiisslu
of Mr. Loncolu, this rigor aud vigilance
did not Neein unnecessary, and we were
content. With all the proois the Administra
tion claimed to have, wus it Lot wise, nay. was
it not due to the memory oi the martyred dead,
that speedy Justice should be visited upon the
great olleudei? Certainly, if JelTcrsou Davis was
concerned in the assassination ol Mr. Lincoln,
he was the chlel assassin. The wretch who wus
shot, the lour wretches who were so swiftly
hnngid one mldt-u miner's day, were the mere
inMi iimenis in ine minus ot the great criminal.
Tbml.eliet induced Mr. Davis' arrest, aud the
puymeutof an enormous reward. Whiitcatne of
the arrest? W 1th evidence ul his guilt iu the
pofcsission of Mr. Htanton with a hnudrod
generals only loo happy to oe assigned t'i court-
man mi uuiy w.in me courts opeu, able law
yeis, und District Attorneys duty comnits
slobed, the great criminal was permuted to
remain In priNon, and not a word was suid of
Justice, t or two years mis bus couiiuued, aud
now, at the end of two years, I he Government
permits him, uu unpunished assassin, to be
taken from prison and released on bull. If this
1h right now, when did it become right? If,
after nil. the Government has no evidence
showing the comp.lclty of Davis and Booth,
wuy was not inecntiigo wunurawn?
Vtl1, il was as a traitor, ana not as an assas
sin, thai Mr. Davis wii.s neld. and as sucn he
should nave been kept iu Jail. But why keep
him iu jail? Treason is a crime, and u crime,
accoidmg to Mr. Joluiion, that should be pun
ished. Tuero Is u luwlul way of punishing meu
in this country. To keep u man in prison
without trial is a violation of law, not obedi
ence to it. Mr. Davis may have cotntnitied
many crimes so many, indeed, that, accord
ing to one howlimc Pharisee. "It 1m a disgrace
and reproach to ourcouutry ttiatheshould ever
U6 peruillleu to desecrate who ii h traitor loot
prints the soil of a free Htule." Hut how do
we know thai be commuted crimes? There
is but one way of knowing it the verdict of
twelve trusty men. Because Mr. Davis is a
criminal, must we also be criminal? Because
he Is known to have committed treason, must
we also commit what is certainly moral treason
to the Constitution? If it is right to take
Jellersou Davis, citizen, aud imprlsou lain two
veins without judge or July, wby not citizen
Thurlnw Weed, or citizen William Uul
len Bryant? But It Is popularly believed
that Mr. Davis Is a traitor, and that,
as a traitor, he should long ago have been
hanged. Well, It is also popularly believed that
if Mr. Tliuilow Weed had tils deserts he would
long ngo have been lu Sing Sing. We have no
legal knowledge of the fact. Mr. Weed has
never been arrested nor tried; nor has even an
indictment been found. lie is at liberty, and
so long as he 1b not legally accused we shull
insist that he remain ai liberty, and if neces
sary we shall find twenty bondsmen who will
answer for his security until tried. The prin
ciple is the same, whether It applies to Davis or
Weed, or citizen Dermot arrested for assault
and battery. The luw has no prejudices the
Constitution no "popular" punishments.
Certain citizens testily their appreciation of
the principles so conspicuously violated in tne
cuse ol Mr. Duvis by becomiug his bondsmeu.
Listen to the MiariEees howling. 11 Is popular
to howl at Mr. Davis, and neuce all mis louuiy
echoing lndignutiou. What is justice? What
isluw? What is the Constitution? Whature
the honor and dignity of this nation ? Mr.
Davis Is a traitor, and should be hanged!
V ell, Johnson is a patriot, and why did ho not
harm him ? The fnarlsee wuo howl over
Davis huzza for Johusou. So long as Davis
wus a fact, we opposed him. The Rebellion he
led, the slave system he cherished, the disunion
he preached, we have waned upon. We wur
upon them now, and shall continue to do so
until this land Is a laud of universal freedom
and impartial suffrage. But Jellersou Davis is
no longer a fact, lie no longer represents
armed treason. He is our victim, our prisoner,
the creature of the laws, and oue in whose per
son the laws have for two yeurs been dis
honored. Against that injustice we have pro
tested, as we hope to protest against Injustice
lu any form, no matter how lofty or lowly the
victim. This we do because we believe it lo be
right. The Pharisees may howl not withstand
ing. We have heard from them many and
muny a time before Ar. 1'. Tribune to-day.
